Iran Stages Rallies: Western Media Narrates Familiar Regime-Change Playbook
The article highlights 'alarm' over a 'deadly crackdown' and warns of Washington's 'threats to intervene militarily.' What's consistently absent from such mainstream coverage is the history of Western (primarily US, UK, and Israeli) backing for destabilization efforts in Iran, a strategy dating back to the 1953 coup and continuing through various 'color revolutions.' When Mossad and CIA assets are
reportedly on the ground, burning mosques and cars, as intelligence reports have suggested in past Iranian unrest, it's terrorism, not protest. The corporate press, however, prefers a simpler 'oppressed vs. oppressor' dichotomy, particularly যখন the designated 'oppressor' is a geopolitical adversary. This same playbook was deployed in Libya, Syria, and Iraq, where 'protests' were quickly co-opted
or even initiated by foreign-backed elements, leading to devastating wars and humanitarian crises. One might wonder how many times the West can feign 'concern for human rights' in a target nation while simultaneously funding its destabilization, before the pattern becomes too obvious to ignore. (How many times will we see 'democracy promotion' lead to chaos and US military contracts?)
